Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen

Yang Qin burst into tears when she heard the music of Huishan Erquan. When she opened the window and saw A Bing, a street performer, she ran downstairs desperately... The man said: "A Bing, someone saw Yang Qin in Suzhou." "Ah, really? Where is it in Suzhou?" "Don't be sad when you hear that, I heard it's in a brothel." "Ah! In the brothel, I'm going to find her." A Bing tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. His beloved sister Qin finally found her whereabouts. He got up at dawn and went straight to Suzhou. He walked for a while, and when he met a kind-hearted person, he took a carriage and did not arrive in Suzhou City until evening.

A Bing inquired from one brothel to another, and they all said that there was no such person.When A Bing came to a big brothel, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of the pipa coming from inside. A Bing heard that it was Qin Mei playing, so he called "Qin Mei, Qin Mei" to go in. The gatekeeper asked, "Who are you looking for?" A Bing said: "Yang Qin is the one who plays the pipa now." The gatekeeper went in and told the madam, and the madam went to ask Yang Qin: "Miss Qin, a man named A Bing is looking for you, see you?" When Yang Qin heard this, her heart trembled, and the pipa almost fell to the ground. She first stood up excitedly, then sat down again, choked up and said: "No, tell him, the person he is looking for is dead." Come on, tears fell down.

The madam came out and said to A Bing: "There is no one you are looking for here, so go!" A Bing clearly heard Qinmei playing the pipa just now, he was very sad, why did Qinmei not see me? On the street near the door, A Bing played the music that he and sister Qin swore in Huishan Erquan. When Yang Qin heard the sound of the piano, she knew it belonged to A Bingla. She burst into tears immediately. She couldn't help opening the window. Go to A Bing... A Bing finally met his beloved sister Qin, he stood up, forgot to play the piano, and approached, the two stared blankly at each other, was it a dream or waking up?

I don't know how long it took before the two of them suddenly came to their senses, rushed over desperately, and hugged each other tightly, no matter how many people were watching on the street, it seemed that there were only the two of them in this world... How much yearning, how much sadness, all of a sudden turned into tears, bursting out of my eyes. "Brother Ah Bing..." Yang Qin raised her tearful eyes and stared at Ah Bing. "Sister Qin..." A Bing stared at Yang Qin through tears. Looking at each other with teary eyes, thousands of words, I don't know where to start.

There was a stone bench under a tree by the roadside, and the two of them sat down and confided their hearts. "Sister Qin, I had a hard time looking for you. Tell me what happened to you. Where are your father and brother?" "That terrible night, the rebels broke into the school suddenly, and they captured the students. Later, my father was tortured and died in prison. My brother escaped and is now missing. I was trafficked to the desert and almost killed. Sold to a foreign country, and then sold to a brothel..." "Bingge..." Yang Qin burst into tears. "I wanted to die several times, but I survived because I wanted to find you."

There are more and more people watching. Yang Qin said, "Come on, Bingge, let's go upstairs and talk about it." A Bing and Yang Qin entered the brothel and went upstairs. The customers in the brothel said in surprise: "Ah! Taoist priests also visit brothels. It's a strange story in the world." In Yang Qin's room, Yang Qin said: "I am a performer but not my body. I told the madam that if I want to sell myself, I will die." "Sister Qin..." A Bing hugged her excitedly. Yang Qin burst into tears, and she choked up and said, "Brother Ah Bing, hurry up, this place is too dirty, you can't be here."

"No, I won't go. People in so-called noble places may be the dirtiest. Although you are in a dirty place, you are the cleanest." "Bingo..." A Bing hugged her tightly. After that, A Bing came to Yang Qin every day. On this day, A Bing came again, but was stopped by the madam, who said: "Hey, sir, bring the money, otherwise you won't even think about going in." A Bing said: "I owe it first, and I will give it to you later." "No, don't give me money, don't even think about coming back, I've let you in for many days, you also think about my difficulties, how can I make a living if I don't give you money!"

"I'll give it to you later." "No, it's just not possible." Yang Qin heard the noise, she rushed downstairs and dragged A Bing upstairs. The madam snorted bitterly. A Bing said to Sister Qin: "Sister Qin, I must redeem you to go out." Yang Qin wept sadly. On this day, A Bing was blocked by the madam of the brothel again. , She said: "If you don't give money, you don't want to go in again." A Bing said, "I don't have any money now, but I will give it to you later." The madam shouted: "If you don't have any money, you can just gamble!"

A Bing was stunned. to gamble... To gamble, okay, I will gamble, for the sake of Qinmei, I can do anything! A Bing stepped into the casino. A Bing stepped into the casino for the first time.This is a casino with gas lamps hanging from one room to another, and the Eight Immortals tables are placed below. People unbutton their clothes, and some even sit around the tables with their arms bare. The eyes of each gambler are staring at the table like goldfish. Zhang Zhang tooth bone bamboo tendon mahjong tiles.Some men are surrounded by coquettish women... They have cigarettes in their mouths, some have red eyes from gambling, and some have yellow faces from losing... What they present is the "sentient beings" of a school of casinos.

A Bing smelled the mixed smell of sweat and smoke, he frowned, it was really smoky, A Bing wanted to quit, but he still went in and thought, if he didn't go in, what money would he use to redeem the poor girl Qin? ? When the gamblers saw A Bing coming in, they were so surprised that they forgot to play their cards. One said: "Ah, the Taoist priests also come to the casino, so these Taoist priests are all hypocrites." Seeing the new customer, the boss hurriedly greeted him and said: "Come here, come here, there is a shortage of one person here." He arranged for A Bing to sit down, whispered a few words to the dealer, and left.

A Bing did not expect that he won a few big oceans at the beginning, so he became excited, thinking that the money he won in the casino was more than he could earn by doing things for others, so he continued to gamble. How did he know that this was the banker? Give him a taste of sweetness, the next step is a trap. After a few games, Ah Bing not only lost all the money he won, but also owed a sum of money to his boss. A Bing walked out of the casino in a daze. When Ah Bing came out of the casino, he met Zhang Daohua, and he sneered, "Ahhh, it's a shame that you still wear Taoist clothes, go to brothels, and go to casinos, do you still deserve to be a Taoist priest?" A Bing ignored him and just walked around him. "Hmph, I still want to be the priest!" Zhang Daohua cursed at A Bing's back.
